Interstellar (big sci-fi, emotional core story)

Joker type (psychological breakdown, character study)

Wolf of Wall Street type (chaotic, high-energy performance)

Young Vito was DeNiro.

Apparently, he didn't fully adjust his Texas accent in the screen test and the chemistry with Kate Winslet wasn't quite there. Still, he was seriously in contention for the role of Jack.

Six words reportedly cost Matthew McConaughey the lead role in Titanic: “No. That was pretty good. Thanks.” Producer Jon Landau, who worked on the majority of director James Cameron’s feature films, revealed as much in his memoir, which has not yet been published. According to reporter Matt Belloni, in The Bigger Picture—the late producer’s unpublished manuscript—Landau explains that the Interstellar actor was a favorite to play the leading role in Titanic. McConaughey even did a reading with Kate Winslet, who, according to Landau, “was taken with Matthew, his presence and charm.”

The actor, born in Texas, did the test without changing his accent—even though the character, Jack Dawson, was from Wisconsin. And though the director liked the interpretation, Cameron also asked him to repeat the scene “a different way.” It was then that McConaughey said those fateful words: “No. That was pretty good. Thanks.” And that’s how he lost the role. “Let’s just say, that was it for McConaughey,” writes Landau. McConaughey has not replied to a request for comment.

Four years ago, McConaughey said on the podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe that he thought the role would be his, due to the excitement he felt during his audition. “I went and read with Kate Winslet, and it was not one of the auditions—they filmed it, so it was like into screen test time,” McConaughey said. "After we left, you now, it was one of those ones where they, like, followed me, and when we got outside, they were like, 'That went great.' I mean, kind of, like, hugs."

DiCaprio and McConaughey both have one Oscar each.

McConaughey also led Interstellar, a major prestige film. It's reasonable to consider both in the same tier of mainstream A-list actors.

Interstellar requried a muted performance by a movie star. that is the easist acting gig. do you think ben affleck is all of a sudden a good actor because he played reserved in The Town?
